According to its developers, the unmanned aerial vehicle /UAV/ comprised by the system features an outstanding endurance and high mobility. The UAV flight duration is 6-7 hours, the flight range up to 150 km, the monitored area exceeds 21,000 sq km from a single launch site.

ZALA 421-16E5 is developed using a unique technology of complete duplication of the key systems responsible for reliability and quality of mission performance. Specifically for this purpose a new type of engine has been developed with a built-in self-diagnostics system and UAV engine controller. All of the craft’s systems are controlled via digital buses, which is an innovative trend in the world’s aircraft construction.

The aircraft design envisions compartments for installing dedicated equipment weighing up to 5 kg. The ZALA 421-16E5 is launched by a mobile pneumatic launcher with an electronic control system from an unprepared site which is an advantage compared to UAVs that need airdrome basing facilities. A new landing system has been developed for safe landing and complete safety of the onboard equipment.

Zala Aero Group develop, design and manufacture aerial reconnaissance vehicle and weapon systems. The main products are drones for reconnaissance, unmanned helicopters and aerostats for use in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and communications applications.
